During the first hour, you wrote the baseline essay (diagnostic) and sent it to the course email, ENG1031@gmail.com. For homework, you will revise/finish this essay and email the revised version to the course email as well.
We spent the second hour of class going over the Syllabus and getting to know each other a little bit. Hopefully - this will be the last class where I do so much talking. As I indicated in the course overview - this is a "learning through doing" class: the more you talk/participate=> the more you will get out of the class. In-class time will consist mostly of activities that get you to talk, write and think about how and what to write. I thought we got off to a good start - and am looking forward to reading your writing.
For next class:
ENG 1031 will meet in CAS 352 (if I am notified of a change, I will edit this notification).
1. Revise your diagnostic essay and send it to the course email: ENG1031@gmail.com as an attachment. Bring the prompt and assignment sheet back to class so I can collect them.
2. Check out the class blog (which I guess you are doing if you are reading this). Review the syllabus and calendar and if you have any questions - bring them up in class. The other documents are mostly from earlier courses and are just there as placeholders/examples.
3. Buy your book, browse through the readings, and bring the book to class so we can work on planning what we will read for your writing assignments.
Thanks for a great first class!
